Sir Mick Jagger, the iconic frontman of The Rolling Stones, recently shared a fascinating glimpse into the band’s early years, revealing how his bandmate Keith Richards’ love for The Beatles played a significant role in shaping their music. In an exclusive interview with Mojo magazine, Jagger confessed that Richards was an ardent Beatles fan and used to play their tunes non-stop in their shared flat.
The revelation sheds light on a previously uncharted facet of The Rolling Stones’ creative journey, showcasing the unexpected influence of their former rivals on their music. Jagger spoke about the impact of Richards’ Beatles obsession, saying, “Originally, Keith was the pop person really. I mean, I used to just write lyrics to his pop tunes, and he wrote all these pop tunes because he listened to The Beatles all the time.”
He discovered the gem when he was 12 years old and still has it now, claiming it to be why he fell in love with music. He likes to play disc golf when he's not writing about music. He is a one-of-a-kind individual who is always the first to bust out his air guitar on the dance-floor.
